No.

We also did not get Seth Green, Seth Rogan, Seth MacFarlane, or Seth Meyers.

Seth Meyers sat across from me on the M train into the city a year ago. He looked pretty hungover.

That seems standard for him.

He'll likely not age well and slowly morph into Vincent Schiavelli.

Injured D list
Pronger
Kimmo
Coburn
Meszaros
Grossmen
Gervais
Bourdon
Huskins

If we didd'nt make the JVR for Schenn trade, we would not have had a single starting D make it through the year.

This amazes me... Talbot, Rinaldo and Wellwood for our forward core... Crazy, that's 22% of all our contracts on IR...
EDIT: Forgot Walker and Shelley - 26%

And then there was Schenn.....

I guess Luke is the winner. I know I am being premature since there are three games left.

Amazing that Timo, Grossman, Coburn, Meszaros, and Gervais are all out for the season. Ive never seen a d-corps so decimated in all my years of watching hockey.

If you would have showed me that starting six at the beginning of the season I would have thrown up.

If Schenn continues to be a beast he's going to feel more and more like a steal with his 3.6 mil cap hit through 15 - 16....

I've heard alot of talk in the comments of this blog from Flyers fans in regard to offseason plans. Who they wish the Flyers would move/buyout, trade for, draft, etc. I've heard talks about wishing that they would trade for Pietrangelo, or another elite class D man. It made me wonder, does anyone know if other teams dream and think realistically about a trade for a Flyers player? Does anyone know if on some other comment board, another group of fan realistically discusses what it would take to get Voracek or Giroux? I thought they were talking quite realistically about the possibility of a Pietrangelo trade and what it would take, and it made me wonder how St. Louis fans would feel about it. Anyone know?

Maybe Giroux. After that, the Flyers lack that sexy big-name player. They have good players in guys like Voracek, Timonen, and Simmonds. And they have desirable young players in Schenn and Couturier. But no other marquee names.

good players can be traded for.. some recent examples Hodgson for Kassian, Filip Forsberg for Erat, Shattenkirk and Stewart for Erik Johnson and McClement

I hear from fans of Edmonton, Montreal and Vancouver that they would love to get Simmonds or Hartnell. Teams that supposedly need more size and/or grit.

Any team in the league would love Giroux or Voracek.

I suppose there are a lot of teams that would like another big, physical, shut down type
defenseman like Grossmann and Luke Schenn.

Yeah, but just like the Flyers wouldn't trade Giroux for a couple of less-talented, farther off talents unless there was something forcing their hand (cap issues, locker-room issues, player wants out), St Louis isn't going to dump their #1 dman for a collection of our question marks. Maybe if we had somebody in our system that was comparable to Pietrangelo, there might be a hockey deal there, but we really don't.

according to capgeek Flyers are already 3 Mil over next years cap...How in the frank can they improve this team? Even with a Briere buyout that would give us around 3 mil. So tired of this team being at the top of the cap year in and out and getting marginal results.

Yea but that includes Pronger

He's one of the very few top young defenders that the Flyers might actually have a chance at trading for... if COL manages to draft Jones, it might prompt them to do something with Johnson while he still has trade value.
